Genetically Altered Food - 1,683 words
Genetically Altered Food Genetic modification of
organisms in general is a biotechnological process
that forces genes to behave according to certain
characteristics. Changing characteristics of
organisms is based on changing their DNA (tech
deoxyribonucleic acid; the acid which carries
genetic information in a cell). It is being used
for modifying genes in plants, animals or
micro-organisms. It is being also used especially
with food in order to improve the nutritious
quality, make less use of chemicals such as
pesticides, which proved to be extremely harmful,
and sometimes to add flavour. Genetically modified
food (GMF) is considered one of the modern
production improvements and the largest ...

Genetically Engineered Foods - 1,019 words
Genetically Engineered Foods Introduction The use
of genetically engineering in agriculture and food
production has an impact, not only on the
environment and biodiversity, but also on human
health. Therefore, thorough biosafety assessment
requires, not only an evaluation of environmental
impacts of genetically engineered organisms, but
also an assessment of the risks that genetically
engineered food pose for the health of consumers.
Let us take deeper look at some of the aspects
related to genetically engineered foods. What is
Genetic Engineering? Genetic engineering is a
laboratory technique used by scientists to change
the DNA of living organisms. DNA is the blueprint
for the individualit ...

... r irritants and could act at the biochemical,
cellular, tissue or organ levels to disrupt a
range of physiological functions. An example of a
class of genetically engineered foods that are of
particular concern are those that have been
modified to produce biological control agents such
as the family of insecticidal Bt enterotoxins. The
Bt toxin, which has been used topically in organic
farming, has powerful biological activity. If
consumed in larger amounts it can become a toxin.
Plants genetically-manipulated to produce Bt toxin
produce at least 1000 times more Bt toxin per acre
than does a heavy application of Bt directly on
plants. There was another case where one company

Genetically Modified Corn - 631 words
Genetically Modified Corn Since Kraft Foods
recently had to recall taco shells made from corn
that was approved for human consumption, Arnold
Weigand didn't know whether or not he should avoid
growing any genetically modified corn. A study was
conducted to examine whether or not growing
genetically modified corn was a sound economical
decision for Arnold Weigand. The problems with
gentically modified corn, the dangerous chemicals
in genetically modified corn, and the testing that
has been done on genetically modified corn was
reviewed. We also determined whether the corn
would be successful in the market. To determine
whether or not the corn would be successful in the
market, we reviewed the ...

Genetically Modified Organisms In Our Food - 1,375 words
Genetically Modified Organisms In Our Food
Tomatoes, soy beans and McDonalds French fries-
what all of these things have in common? They are
all some of the most commonly genetically modified
foods on the market today. With scientists in the
race to invent newer and better everythings,
genetically modified organisms, or GMOs have
become a hot topic of research in just the past 10
years. By using the genetic information from one
organism, or the DNA and splicing it with the DNA
of another, scientists can make food crops grow
bigger, stay fresh longer, or even create their
own pesticides. In this case however, and often
with any case involving genetic modification, the
technology has exceeded ...

Opposing Genetically Modified Organisms - 485 words
Opposing Genetically Modified Organisms As a
result of biotechnology and its wake of
controversy that follows, a number or
organizations have voiced their concerns toward
the corporate driven discipline. As a product of
biotechnologies carelessness, or motives, activist
groups have risen throughout the world opposing
the novelty of genetically modified organisms. The
intent of biotech companies is to market and
eventually sell these innovations, eventually
increasing their profits and stock prices so new
products can be funded while the shareholders line

Should We Genetically Engineer Ourselves - 706 words
Should We Genetically Engineer Ourselves? SHOULD
WE GENETICALLY ENGINEER OURSELVES? Should we use
new genetic information to alter our own DNA to

made a major break through in genetic engineering.
They finished a complete map of DNA of a complex
organism. Although the animal that they broke down
is a simple flat worm, over 40% of its DNA
sequence match our own. This is an astounding leap
forward for genetic engineers. Genetic engineering
is the use of lasers and/or chemicals to alter the

DNA. Many people throughout the world greatly

Abortion Prohibition - 1,317 words
Abortion Prohibition One of the most ethical
controversial issues been debated now in United
States is whether late- term abortion should be
banned or not. Most people argued that it is
proper to ban late-term abortion. They believe
that it is un-ethical and a murder of an unborn
child not a right of freedom of choice. It is an
immoral act and violates the social and religious
norms. On the other hand some people argued that
late-term abortion should not be banned because it
is necessary to terminate a fetus when the life of
the woman is in danger as a result of complicated
pregnancy; or when pregnancy result from incest or
rape and the woman may be late in finding out that
she is pregnant. ...

Add Attention Deficit Disorder For centuries
children have been grounded, beaten, or even
killed for ignoring the rules or not listening to
what they're told. In the past it was thought
these "bad" kids were the products of bad
parenting, bad environment, or simply being
stubborn, however it is now known that many of
these children may have had Attention Deficit
Disorder, or A. D. D., and could've been helped.
A. D. D. is a syndrome that affects millions of
children and adults in the United States and is a
very frustrating and confusing syndrome that often
goes undiagnosed. While there is no clear-cut
definition of A. D. D., it's known that it's a
genetic disorder that affects males more oft ...

Aggressive Behavior - 1,312 words
Aggressive Behavior Aggression is a behavioral
characteristic that refers to forceful actions or
procedures (such a deliberate attack) with
intentions to dominate or master. It tends to be
hostile, injurious, or destructive, and is often
motivated by frustration (The Merriam-Webster
Dictionary, 1995). For an individual, aggressive
behavior is considered understandable and normal
under appropriate circumstances, but when it is
frequent, intense, lasting, and pervasive, it is
more likely to be a symptom of a mental disorder.
Likewise, aggression between groups, can be in the
form of healthy competition, but can become
harmful when unfair or unjust disadvantage or
frustration is perceived, lead ...

Agression - 2,144 words
Agression Aggression Aggression is a critical part
of animal existence, which is an inherent driving
force to humans, as we, too, are animals. The
source of aggression within humans is a long
summative list, but before trying to understand
its source one must apply a working definition of
aggression. Aggressive behavior is defined by
Encyclopedia Britannica as any action of an animal
that serves to injure an opponent or prey animal
or to cause an opponent to retreat. (7) David G.
Myers states that aggression is any physical or
verbal behavior intended to hurt or destroy.(9)
There are many types of aggressive behaviors,
which can be differentiated from the factual act
to the hidden motives. F ...
